- A traveller chose Chennai Metro over road due to heavy traffic to catch a flight
- He found the metro journey faster, cleaner, and more convenient than road transport
- The airport metro station connects directly to terminals via travellators for ease
A traveller found a quicker way to reach the airport after traffic made the road journey too long for his flight. His first experience with the Chennai Metro left him impressed with its cleanliness and convenient airport connectivity.
The experience was shared by X user Anirudh, who took the Chennai Metro for the first time while heading to the airport.
He mentioned, "I took the Chennai Metro for the first time, because I was forced. I was stuck in massive traffic jams on the way to the airport, now common in Chennai - ironically due to metro construction."
"I had to get to the airport in 30 mins, or I'd miss the flight. I checked Maps- 41 mins by road, 21 mins by Metro. Obvious decision," he added.
